Re: Supreme Court Will Hear D.C. Guns Case
Even with a win, I doubt things will change that much. Outright bans might be rejected, but as long as "reasonable regulation" is allowed, what difference does that make? Ok, so DC and Chicago residents are not banned from owing a handgun -- rather, they would likely fall into the draconian NYC-style rules, which are essentially not very different.
So, aside from the tiny handful of places upshifting from "outrageously oppressive" into "merely NYC-level oppressive," what difference do we see this making?
I don't see this leading to mass-scale repeal of any existing gun laws, aside from total bans which are irrelevant to most of us here.
